Thank you for continuing on my journey.
This is the second half of the final for my AECP – Level 2. For this portion the challenge was:
I chose an old, dented metal box that has previously held nail clippers.
After lightly sanding the lid, I then painted it with light blue acrylic paint. I made an arrangement of different flowers in various colors using the Altenew die sets: Pond Flowers, Lovely Floral Hat, and Zero-Waste 3D Floral Cover Die.
Using a piece of paper the size of the lid, I tested placement.
Once I had adjusted the flower placement, I covered the lid with a layer of Ranger Multi Medium Matte as my adhesive.
After adhering the flowers to the lid, I added bit of Glossy Accents to some of the flower centers for dimension.
I placed a piece of black foam on the inside of the box for a more finished look and to cover up the dents.
To complete it, I made a set of four matching gift tags using the Altenew Wild Daisies Press Plate and the following Altenew Fresh Dye Inks: Sapphire, Teal Cave, Berrylicious and Crystal Violet. The inks were used on the press plate as well as ink blending the edges.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my upcycled box. Wish me luck on my final!!
